Officials in San Bernardino County have expressed outrage following the transfer of dozens of death row inmates from San Quentin State Prison to Chino. The move has sparked concerns about the safety and security of the Chino community.
Outcry Against Inmate Transfers
San Bernardino County and Chino officials have called on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to remove the condemned prisoners from Chino. They argue that the 83-year-old prison is ill-equipped to securely house these inmates and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
Significant Inmate Transfers
Since February 26, a total of 324 inmates with death sentences have been transferred from San Quentin to other state prisons. Chino’s California Institution for Men received 39 of these transfers, raising concerns about the capacity of the facility to handle such high-risk inmates.
Compliance with Proposition 66
The transfers are part of the state’s efforts to comply with Proposition 66, which aims to streamline the execution process and require death row inmates to work and pay restitution to victims. However, critics argue that the state must also follow through on death sentences as mandated by the law.
Safety Concerns and Infrastructure Deficiencies
Local leaders in Chino have highlighted safety concerns due to the transfer of death row inmates. They point to a 2008 report from the California Office of the Inspector General, which identified $28 million in needed repairs at the California Institution for Men. The history of escapes from the facility has also raised alarms in the community.
Assurance of Public Safety Measures
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has assured the public that all facilities housing death row inmates have secure perimeters and close custody supervision. Measures have been taken to enhance security at Chino, including upgrades to electrical systems and security lighting.
Community Response and Petition
The decision to transfer the inmates has sparked outrage among residents, prompting local officials to petition the governor’s office for the removal of the inmates from Chino. A petition on the city website has garnered over 1,000 signatures, urging the authorities to consider alternative facilities until necessary repairs are made.
Call for Action
With concerns growing over the safety and security of the Chino community, city officials continue to advocate for the removal of death row inmates from the California Institution for Men. The ongoing debate underscores the challenges of housing high-risk inmates in aging facilities.
For the safety and security of the facility, special management inmates must be segregated. In this tip, risk management expert and Lexipol co-founder Gordon Graham details best practices for this process:
